Edge Mount
With edge mounts, the product is clamped to the
edge of the worksurface.
Step #1: if necessary, raise clamp on bottom bracket
Skip this step if worksurface thickness is 0.9" or more.
• The clamp is attached to the lower two holes on bottom bracket. If worksurface thickness is less than
0.9", clamp attachment must be moved to the upper two holes.
• Use the M4 Allen key to unscrew the two
M5x8 socket cap screws that secure the
clamp.
• Raise the clamp to the upper two holes
and attach it using the socket cap screws.
Tighten securely using the Allen key.
Step #2: attach bracket/clamp assembly to power module
• Route the power cord through the opening in the
top bracket.
• Attach the top bracket to the rear of the power
module using the two M3x12 panhead screws.
Hand-tighten securely.

Step #3: clamp FlexCharge4CX unit to worksurface and mount power strip
• Position the unit in the desired location and clamp it securely to the
worksurface by tightening the triangle knob.

using the double-sided tape and four M4x14 wood screws.
— Note: The double-sided tape is only temporary and is not intended for permanent installation.
• Plug the power strip into the AC outlet and flip the switch on.
You are now ready to use the eight AC power outlets (six on the power strip, two on the
power module) as well as the USB-A and USB-C charging ports located on the power
module.

Grommet mount
The grommet mount method is similar to the
edge mount method, except that the assembly is
clamped to the edge of a grommet hole, rather
than the edge of the worksurface. Minimum
diameter of the grommet hole is 2.3".
